Weird things that have happened after the death of a loved one

[Comps83]

I noticed our local uni had a seminar regarding the impact of hearing / sensing / seeing a loved one after death and it got me thinking about the things I've heard and how it must be a pretty common phenomenon

My mother died unexpectedly a week after I had my baby last month . I was wide a wake and clear as day heard someone say the baby's name

Apparently a butterfly followed her coffin into the church and landed on her friends knee

My grandmas watch stopped at the time her twin brother died

When my grandad died we had his urn and a collage of photos on the table in his house. A baby robin flew in and landed on the picture and then the urn before flying out again

Apparently my G G grandmother saw her son in her bedroom the moment he was killed in Ypres

I'm sure most of these are just coincidence and I can only vouch for the voice I heard but I'd be interested in hearing others stories

My brother died last November in a local hospice. My mum was holding his hand and my SIL had gone to the quiet room to read for a while. My dad went to tell her he had died. I arrived a few minutes later and she asked whether it was really stormy outside. I said it was not, why?? She said just before dad arrived there had been a busy of wind that had blown past her in the quiet room. She also was contacted by a friend a couple of days later who said that same evening he had had a vivid dream of my brother, on top of a beautiful hilltop, walking towards a beautiful light and he turned around and grinned and gave thumbs up sign as if to say' it is all good here' and then walked into the light. Both these things have been a comfort to my DSIL( and the rest of us!)

gust not busy !

My mum died suddenly when I was 21, we'd had a fall out for a little while a couple years before and she'd tried to send me a message at that time on FB that I never got. A couple days after she died this old message suddenly came through on my phone and I opened it up and it was a Beatles song called I'm only sleeping, captioned "for my daughter, it'll be ok"

DM died suddenly in an accident. We had a bit of a scramble to arrange her funeral for the day she wanted because we had to get the death certificate before a certain time on the Friday. There had had to be a post mortem performed. We managed that, and the funeral was set. IT was the most beautiful autumn day - just exactly the kind of day that DM loved best.

When DD2 was graduating with her MSC, the date fell on the birthday of a friend's DM, who had been like a DGM to DD2. Friend is a parent to DD2, after fuckwit XH left.

Then last year I was invited to a family wedding and the date chosen was the 20th anniversary of DM's death. It is lovely to now have a happy memory of that date and I know that DM and friend's DM were both sitting up there organising things for us.

A couple of months after DH died, he visited me - I woke up and he was leaning over me on top of the covers in bed. I could see him, smell his aftershave, and he told me everything was going to be ok, he loved me, and he kissed me. Then the pressure on the bed covers lifted and he went. I would have written it off as a dream, but it had woke me and happened after I was awake. I couldn't get back to sleep.

Some lovely stories on here

for everyone

Ha so I went to the doctors yday with the baby for our 8 week check
She said that sometimes after birth ppl see and hear things which aren't there and asked me if I'd experienced this
I just looked at her like it was crazy and said nooooooo wasn't going to admit to that one

I met my husbands grandmother when we got engaged, she had lung cancer and sadly died just after our wedding. I knew her as a old small frail woman. She was very glad that she made it to our big 1980s wedding.

A few years later , pregnant and overdue with my 2nd and very very large baby I dreamt that a lady sat next to me by my bedside. She was a big lady with dark curly hair, red lipstick and a black 50s style dress. She leaned over me and said that it was time to wake up and have the baby. i woke up with a jump with a mahoosive contraction.
He was born in june in the middle of a summer storm at 11am. huge and healthy.
My mother in law came in all happy to see her second grandson and thanked me for having the baby on her mothers birthday.
I mentioned the dream to my hubby but we didnt tell my mother in law until 2/3 yrs later when she was looking though some old photos and there was the lady of my dreams, her mum, wearing the same dress, hair and make up. its a funny old world sometimes.

When my dh died my ds had just turned 3, on the day of his funeral he was being looked after in my mil house by 2 great aunts (church was around the corner),he was holding on to a red hot radiator screaming for his daddy and then just stopped and went happily back to playing (no marks on his hands and it was for about the length of the service), the two aunt went into the kitchen and there was a white dove sitting on the window sil watching

A couple of months after he died I had one of those experiences as described above,

I was asleep in bed and it felt like he had his arms around me and he was telling me he was really sorry that he didn’t mean to die and to please not be angry, it was the weirdest and most amazing thing that’s happened, I was lying there and could see everything but it was completely his presence with me

Fluffycloudland77 A friend of mine had a similar experience. She lived in an ancient cottage and the bedroom doors had massive gaps under them that her cat used to go under. As the cat did this she would rattle the sneck latch. My friend heard this rattle and the cat jumping on her bed for a bout six weeks after she had been put to sleep at the vets.

I inherited DM’s house. Couldn’t sell it so decided to rent it out. I had just finished giving the house it’s final hoover before the tenant moved in. I said out loud, “Oh Mum, I hope I’m doing the right thing!” At that very instant the bells at the nearby church started ringing. I’m not at all ‘woo’ usually, but I took it as a sign. It’s 5 years later now and I don’t regret my decision at all.
